Aerospace Dimensions Module 1 Practice Exam

Which statement about stall recovery is true?

Apply opposite rudder and forward stick to reduce angle of attack. Apply full opposite aileron and pull back. Increase power and roll to wings level. Relax the rudder and maintain altitude.

Correct Answer:

Relax the rudder and maintain altitude.

Explanation:

When recovering from a stall, the key is to restore airflow over the wings and bring the airplane back to coordinated, stable flight. Relaxing the rudder means letting the yaw input go neutral, which helps prevent adverse yaw or a wing-down condition that can keep the stall from breaking. By keeping the aircraft in coordinated flight and avoiding unnecessary slipping or yaw, you set up a smoother path to reducing angle of attack and regaining speed, all while avoiding excessive altitude loss or uncontrolled movement. The other options push you toward increasingAoA, creating more bank or yaw, or diving for speed without establishing a stable, coordinated recovery first.
